Rita Golden Gelman

Rita Golden Gelman is an award- winning author of more than 70 children’s books. She has been travelling the world since 1986 and has no permanent address, no possessions except those she carries and she rarely knows where she’ll be six months from now. Rita says: ‘I’ve been living and loving my nomadic existence since the day in 1986 when, at the age of forty- eight, on the verge of a divorce, I looked around and thought: “There has to be more than one way to do life”. ‘There is.’
